Referring to the 1 accompanying drawing forming; part. of thisapplication 1 and f in" which 'glike reference charactersindicate like-F 1.55 perspective view of a divisi- .hle bake pan gequi pad with theimproved .arrang'ement of a justable partitions; and Figure 2 is anenlarged perspective view of two of the novel division walls orpartiti0ns; and v c j Figure 3,-isxa still further modified form ofdivisionwalLj Y 1- represents a rectangularly shaped metal bake pan, thesame being provided with'a major adjustable. divisionwall-Q, such asillustrated in my. inite'd' States Patent No. 1,500,007, dated'Julyv1st,. 1924.5. I

The wall 2 I have illustratedas being positionedin such a manner as todivide the pan into'twojpractically equal portionsor compartments, andwithin the nearer compertinent onhalf of the pan is illustrated a commongrouping of removable. division walls Q, these division walls being'slotted one-halfvtheir width from one side for interlocking engagementwith each other to form, equalcompartnients, the same being common inthe art. A

' The farther section or compartment of the pan 1 is: shown as having-anumber of novel forms (if-division walls which it is desired to" coverLetters Patentin this applicat1on.- M. *Thesewalls or partitionscomprise onomf more plain partition walls, having parallel seesaw,provided-with varioiisly spaced slots upon one or hoth sides thereof asdesired; One of vthcsedivision walls isillns trated at 3 in Figaro 1,and another atl in Figure 2,,an'd, while not absolutely essential.

'The ere essem shown these deeper partitions as resting notchesor slots 5 along on ma i al ag f, these notches being i for selectiveholding or interlocking engagement with. the deepertransversepartitions, such as illuslength and in the tho'ughthey may be the entirewidth to. talfill like requirements in eonnectioniwith ,a differentassemblage of pan and partitions froln'that' illustrated, and arefornedwith deeper central section illustrated-at whl'ch prrnectsconsiderably, above theupp'er Inarginal edge of the artit-ion.

Furthermorethis-greater widt inthe center-moat standing portion-convenient ofmanipulation the fingers of the operator forpdsitiom mg the partitionsin the desired places lonsection of the partitions provides anupgitudinall' V of the partitions with which they led. In thisconnection I have within'the notches 5 onthe up eredg'eof the i 'for thecooperative partitions, this. in purposeof providing selective uniformdistances for the spacing of the partitions.

The uppermost horizontal edge of the central extension of the partitions6 is turned at right anglesas illustratd-atl) providing aliporprojection not only for; more convementhandling but to increase therigidity of the partitions and adjacent each uppermost corner of th forktine may be readily-insertedtherein-for raising the partitions in theevent ofisame being-too. hot or otherwise inconvenient of extendingportion 7 with the major t-ram;

6 of. such partition, Ihave' shown downwardly extending slots 11 whichmay employed in interlocking engagement either I with common artitionwalls such as illu5- trated at which are slotted one-lialf-thcir, -1width or with such partition walls as partitions ,Gare of uniform 5 areferred arrangementj equal to .one half t e width ,of the pan,

y one or more deep orpractic-ally full I is elevated section I-have I Yillustrated a hole 10' so that a wire, hook, or

"Zine illustrated at 4 which may be slotted from one or both sides asdesired.

By this arran ement and spacing of slots it will be seen t at the spacesintermediate of the ends of the partition 6 and the slots 11 are equalto those spaces existing between the slots 11 and the oentermost-slot sothat cakes of equal dimensions laterally may be baked.

In the lower side of the partition 6 as illustrated in Figure 2 I haveshown other spaced slots 12 which, being differently spaced, permit of adifferent arrangement of partitions to produce different sized cakes,and, as is obvious, other spaces and arrangements of slots may beresorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention.

By the use of these deeper partitions irrespective of the slottedarrangement of the transverse partitions, they may be spaced in anymanner desired or any number used within the pan to form oblong cakessuch as known in the art as finger cakes, or, when a numberofpartitions, such as those shown at 0, 3 and 4 are used in closelyspaced rela tion in connection with the deeper partitions, the finger oroblong cakes may be formed with their greater dimension running at rightangles to the deeper partitions.

While I have shown in the nearer section of the pan 1 an assemblage ofwhat is referred to as the common partitions, slotted only upon one sideand interlookingly engaged, it is evident that partitions such as shownat 4 in Figure 2, being slotted upon both sides, may be employed, andthat without the use of the deeper partitions 6, and such partitions 4,being slotted upon both sides, permit of the assemblage of same in aquite different manner from the common partitions which are slotted onl7 upon one side. For exam 1e, with partitions having slots on both si esthe centermost partition in a grou may be upside down in respect to allthe 0t er partitions and thereby made to support same in raising andlowering a group or nest from the pan.

From the foregoing it is apparent that almost numberless selections arepossible as to shapes or sizes and numbers of cakes to be baked and maybe resorted to especially by forming differently spaced slots either inthe uniform partitions or the deeper partitions or both.

In Figure 3 is shown an abnormally deep division wall, the extreme endsof which are the same depth as the pan or the walls used in cooperativeconnection therewith, while the centermost deeper portion is shown inarcuate form for convenience of manipulation; it being understood thatthis abnormal depth for convenience of manipulation of the partitionsmay occur in a plurality of places in preference to the centermostsingle one, if so desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure byLetters iPatent, is:

The combination with a baking receptacle of the character describedhaving adjustable partitions with spaced slots therein, of a partitiongreater in width than said adjustable partitions having slots thereinfor interlocking engagement with said adjustable partitions, and alsoslots therein for wholly straddling said adjustable partitions.

In testimony whereof I hereunto aliix my signature.
